Mission Prologue:  

After being delayed twice now, the USS Huron has finally reached the planet Lemarac.  They are five minutes away from entering the system.  There is a city on the north side of the planet at the base of a mountain, mildly populated according to sensor readings, with the population extending high into the mountainous regions.

The surrounding land is dense with forests, and sparse in population, but there are still several smaller houses in the area away from the main town.  Plant and animal life are abundant, although most of the animal life appears to be on the larger size.

The navigational charts indicate recent visitors to Lemarac as being Pakleds, Ferengi and Tellarites.  The planet's communications system is not operational for reasons unknown, and it appears the only way of contacting the inhabitants will be to land a shuttle or beam to the surface and make First Contact.

Star Trek, A Call To Duty, is proud to present the USS Huron in … “Between the Shadows”, Chapter Five, “TTUTHT” ... Stardate 10610.07

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::On Bridge, scanning surrounding space for any vessels in the system.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
::Sitting in her chair, which should be noted is less comfortable than the Captain's, reading off some info about Lemarac on a padd she was just given.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Hands a padd to one her staff and heads back to her office in engineering.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO/XO: There appears kind of energy pulses coming from some beacons around the main town, and pushing energy into the town.  Can't identify the energy yet.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::Just for the hell of it she decides to look at the sensors and doesn't believe her eyes.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
CTO:  Is it something new or something that was placed there years ago?

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
CO:  Sir, you are not going to believe this but you know that Romulan Shrike class vessel that attacked the Tellarite vessel?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Reads over the reports from each shift and makes a few notations.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  I read the reports.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
CO:  Well it appears that it has landed in the forest outside of the town and the vessel is camouflaged and hidden to the naked eye, Sir.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  Can't say for sure, but there's no report of it in the earlier surveys from what I can tell.  Best guess is it's some kind of defensive system, although their more traditional variety appears to be inoperative.  Might be related to the Communication problems.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
CO: There are no life signs detected on the Romulan vessel.  In fact, the sensors do not pick up any Romulan life signs on the planet at all.  The Romulan vessel's systems appear to be turning on and off by itself.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  Establish a geosynchronous orbit over that ship.
CTO:  I want to know what that ship is doing there.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
CTO:  Keep an eye on it.  Somehow, with our recent dealings, I'm curious as to why they have such a mechanism.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
CO: Yes, Sir.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.
XO:  Of course, and I'm curious as to where they got it.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::Establishes a geosynchronous orbit over the ship.::
CO:  Orbit achieved, Sir.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  Doesn't make sense, if the Romulans are behind this, they could cloak the ship and achieve perfect camouflage.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO:  Have you decided how we will go about contacting the Lemaracians?

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
CO:  I guess we will have no choice but to go down and knock on their door.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Runs Active scans on the Romulan Vessel to try and find signs of the crew.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Grabs a cup of coffee and continues to make notes on her padd.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO:  Assemble an away team.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
*CEO*:  Giving you a heads up Commander, we are arriving at Lemarac.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::Maintaining the orbit and watching the sensors just to be sure.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  Understood, Commander.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  No signs of Romulan biosigns around the ship.  Either they left it behind, or someone else brought it here.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
CO:  Any specifications as to whom you want on the away team?  I've read your brief, I guess Commander Sparks for sure.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO:  I leave the choice up to you, Commander; but yes, I would suggest including Commander Sparks.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Downs her coffee and heads to the locker to prepare her engineering kit and gather any other supplies she may need.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO:  I want you to assemble a covert team to go down to that ship and investigate.  Perhaps it's not Romulans we're looking for.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  Shouldn't be an issue getting in and out unseen, even with my color.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Bynars/Angeltra*:  Get your gear, we have an empty Shrike Class vessel on the surface in need of poking around in and figuring things out.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  I'm taking the Bynars to inspect the computer systems, and Angeltra to look into their other systems.  Also going to take a handful of security, just in case it's not as empty as we thought.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Puts her gear next to the door and calls the bridge.::  *CTO*:  Icky, what's our status?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO:  When you meet the Lemaracians see if there is some subtle way to find out what, if anything they know about that Romulan ship.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
CO:  Since you are sending the Chief Tactical Officer with a cover team, I suggest maybe I only take the Chief Engineering Officer and leave the Flight Control Officer here with you in case...

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*:  We've arrived in the system and are getting a couple of Away Teams ready.  Apparently the vessel we saw is now on the surface, empty.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
*CEO*:  Commander Sparks, we will meet in Transporter Room 1.  We are going down to the planet.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Take a medical tricorder with you to do a cellular residue scan.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO:  Very well.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  On my way, Commander.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  Should I take a Doctor or leave it with just security?

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
CTO:  Please assign a Security Officer to my away team.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Heads for the transporter room.::  *CTO*:  Any signs of life down there?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO:  I think security can handle taking the scans.  Medical staff can interpret them later if need be.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
CO:  Viridian patches, Sir?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  Aye, Commander.  I'll give you some of the less "stand out" looking people and give you a couple of humans.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*:  At the main town there are the expected life signs, at the ship I'm going to there's nothing.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  Are sensors having trouble picking up life signs on the surface?  I think comm badges will suffice.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
CTO:  Thanks.  I'll stand out a bit myself.  ::Points at her spots as she gets up and heads towards the TurboLift.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*CTO*:  I suppose the usual suspects are going with us?  ::Chuckles.::

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
CO:  Well, Sir, they are working fine but caution warrants it.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  I am cautious, Ensign, but I'm not paranoid.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*:  Actually this time I'm sending Lieutenants Barion and Merkur.  They should, uh, stand out less.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
CO:  Sir, I am not paranoid only thinking of the safety of our crew.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  As am I, Ensign.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Reaches the transporter room and places her bag next to the pad.::  *CTO*:  About time you give Scoo and Bee the day off.  See you here soon.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
CTO:  You are taking this Turbolift, Commander?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Moves for the Turbolift.::  XO:  Aye, Commander, sorry.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
CO:  Sir all my scans still show nothing.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*:  Actually they're working, just not leaving the ship.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
::Moves farther in the TurboLift.::  CTO:  You will somewhat stand out too, you know... But as a Chief Tactical Officer, I'm sure you have good tricks to not be seen... TL: Transporter Room 1.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  Simple trick, stay inside that Shrike vessel.

ACTION:  The Turbolift takes the Chief Tactical Officer and Executive Officer to Transporter Room 1.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*XO*/CTO*:  Your teams are both cleared for transport whenever you're ready.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
::Exits the turbolift and takes a phaser and medkit she finds in the Transport Room.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Exits the TurboLift and grabs a gear pack.::  XO: Take care down there, Commander.  Something isn't right about this.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
CTO:  I have a bad feeling too.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
CEO:  Commander, ready for some first contact?  We have a Security Officer with us.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
*CO*:  Aye, Captain.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Nods to the others as they arrive.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
XO:  Ready, Commander.  ::Moves to the pad and grabs her gear.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
TR Chief:  Three to beam near the town.

ACTION:  The TR Chief transports the Executive Officer’s team to the outskirts of town.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
@::Materializes and looks around.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Materializes and quickly pulls out her tricorder and begins to scan.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Shrike team:  As soon as they beam down, we're beaming to the Shrike's bridge.  Stay sharp, no life signs doesn't mean safe by definition.  ::Steps onto the pad, watching the rest of the team gather.::  
TR Chief:  Beam us to the Shrike Bridge, please.  ::Draws Phaser and stands ready.::

@ACTION:  Once the AT beams down on the planet near the city, the Executive Officer’s team discovers there is no town there at all.  They are in the middle of a forest.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Looks around and down at her tricorder.::  XO:  I thought there was supposed to a town around here?

#ACTION:  The Chief Tactical Officer's team beam to the Shrike class vessel.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Scans the nearby trees.::

#ACTION:  As the Away Team examines the Romulan Shuttle, they can see a tooth marks on the inside of the ship as if something large were crunching on it.  The door to the shuttle is chewed off, and all that remains are the hinges where the open door once was.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  You have a fix on them, right?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#::Materializes and looks around.::  All: something was hungry.  Bynars, get to the computer and find out who fled this thing here.  Angeltra, see if you can find any signs that this isn't a "pure" Romulan ship.  The rest of you secure the area.  Whatever chewed the ship might still be around.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
CO:  Lost them when they went inside the ship.  Sensors show plenty of life forms in the city.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#::Scans about the ship with a Tricorder, looking for bio traces of the crew.::

ACTION:  There is a subspace disturbance off the port side of the Huron.  An array uncloaks and a white beam of energy begins to scan the ship.  Suddenly the beam of energy grabs the Flight Control Officer, Captain, and Operations Officer, and transports them to the planet within 10 feet of the away team members by the outside of the shuttle..

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::Surprised.::  ALL:  What the hell just .........Heu'tegh.  What are we doing here?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@*Huron*:  Commander Sparks here.  Are you sure you sent us to the proper coordinates? There's nothing here except trees and a lot of them.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
#::Suddenly finding himself in a forest rather than on the bridge, looks around ready for an attack.::  ALL:  quy'vatlh!

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#CO/ FCO/ OPS:  What in the icy depths are you doing here?  Area isn't secure yet, Captain.

@ACTION:  There is no answer from the Huron.  Communications do not go through.  They are being blocked by the energy pulses.  However, the comm is heard by the Chief Tactical Officer's team.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
#CTO:  One minute we were on the bridge and bright flash of light and here we are.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
@CEO:  Could the town be subterranean?  This is really unusual....

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@XO:  Commander, I can't reach the ship.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#Security:  Get out there and make sure the Captain and the others are secure, I'll keep an eye on our tech folks.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Scans the earth beneath her feet.::  XO:  Possible, Commander.  Running scans now.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#*CEO*:  Ho... Commander?  I got your message to the ship, everything okay over there?

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
@::Hears the Captain.::  *CO*:  Captain?  Can you hear us?

@ACTION:  The Chief Engineering Officer's scans reveal biosigns coming from somewhere, but she can not detect where.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
#CTO:  I don't know.... *XO*:  I can hear you, Commander.  We're on the planet surface with Commander Ec'Thel'Ion's team.  Report your situation.

INFORMATION:  The Chief Tactical Officer’s team is about 1/4 kilometer from the Executive Officer’s team.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@XO:  Commander, I'm picking up biosigns, but I can't get a fix on them.

@ACTION:  A rustling in the bushes can be heard.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
@*CO*:  You are on the planet?  How did that happen?  We were beamed in an area that was supposed to be town... but there is nothing here.... ::hears the Chief Engineering Officer and nods.::  Cmdr Sparks is picking up biosigns but the town is not there.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#Captain:  I'd suggest you step inside.  Even if whatever "bit" this ship is gone, you and I will likely stand out like a sore pair of thumbs.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Grabs Odan's arm.::  XO:  Commander, listen!

@ACTION:  A flock of birds come out of a nearby bush and fly overhead of the Executive Officer’s away team.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
@CEO:  The captain is on the surface... Something definitely isn't r.... ::stops and listens.::

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
#::Crouches low as her head is filled with the animals in the forest.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@XO: Something up ahead .......:: sees the birds :: false alarm ma'am. :: smiles ::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
#*XO*:  I don't know Commander.  Something cloaked next to the ship scanned us and transported Ensign Bishara, Lieutenant Sahen and myself to the surface.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
@CEO:  Unusual sound they make...

@ACTION:  The treetops start to move around, and a very loud noise can be heard.  The ground starts to shake as if something big were coming.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#Bynars:  Any luck on the computer end?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@XO:  It's not the sound I'm worried about ma'am, but what they leave behind.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
@*CO*:  Are you able to contact the ship, Sir?  Because Commander Sparks tried without success.  Only contacting you directly worked.  Maybe we should try to regroup... What is your loc...a...t...i... ::as the ground starts to shake.::

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
#CO:  Time to leave, Sir.  I sense a very big animal headed this way.

#ACTION:  The Chief Tactical Officer’s Away Team hears a loud growling coming from deep in the forest where the shuttle is.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@XO:  Seems something frightened them Commander.  ::Feels the ground shake.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
@CEO: W...e... ssssshoullllld get cooo..... ::looks around to find a safe place as this shake and sound are just not doing it.::

10010/01001 says: 
#CTO:  Sir, the Computer is...gone.  Physically not here.

@ACTION:  A deer-like creature comes scurrying out of the forest and runs past the Executive Officer’s away team, not really caring that the Away Team is there.  Several more deer-like creatures come out of the forest in a pack and head toward the Away Team.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
#*XO*:  Agreed, Commander.  Make your way to this location as soon as possible.  And stay alert.  There seem to be some rather large beasts roaming the area.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#All:  Phasers out, whatever came before seems to be back!  ::Moves towards the hatch.::  CO/ OPS/ FCO:  I'd suggest stepping inside the ship until we find what that is.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
@*CO*:  Aye, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Jumps out of the way of several fleeing animals.::  XO:  Careful, Commander, something is scaring these animals.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#Angeltra:  Okay, if computers are gone, any other systems working?  Like say Transporters or weapons?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
#::Pulls his meq'leth from under the back of his shirt and backs towards the Romulan vessel.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
@CEO:  Scan the area to find the other away team.

@ACTION:  They are followed by a large carnivore about twice the size of a rhinoceros.  It grabs one of the deer-like creatures in its mouth and shakes it vigorously.  A crunching sound can be heard as it chomps down on its prey, killing it with its jaws.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@XO:  Aye, Ma'am.

Angeltra says: 
#CTO:  Weapons drained, Transporters inoperative.  No luck there.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
@CEO:  What.... ::jaws open.::  What's that?  We definitely need to get cover now!  ::Motions to the Security Officer to stay close.::  We better start running in the right direction!

@ACTION:  The large creature stops chewing and turns its stare now to the Executive Officer’s away team members, his eyes stopping and narrowing on the Chief Engineering Officer, surely a nice tasty dessert for him.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#CO:  Permission to go find the other team?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Scans the area for any signs of the other team.::  XO:  Um Ma'am, good idea.  ::Takes off.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
#::Takes a big sniff from the air and his heart starts pumping faster with excitement.::

Barion says: 
@::Raises Phaser, aiming at the creature while moving back.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
#CTO:  You and I, Commander.  The rest of your team will stay here and try to find some answers.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
#FCO:  Help out with the investigation in whatever way you can.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#All: You heard him.  Have Phasers ready, and make some serious noise.  Bang on the hull, whatever it takes.  Either it will scare the creature or help them find our way back.

@ACTION:  The phasers appear to not work.  The energy coming from the planet is somehow drawing their power.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::T'Lar is flying across the ground in huge strides and then comes to a screeching stop.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@XO:  The other team is in this direction.  ::Points.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
@CEO/SEC:  Let's run!  ::Starts running.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#CO:  Let's move.  I mean ready when you are, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@ XO:  Right behind you, Commander.  ::Knows it's safer back there.::

Barion says:
@::Waits for the other two to start, then follows close behind them.::

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
#::Turns around not sensing the captain or the others but still stays low to the ground like she was taught.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
#::Heads out in the direction of the Executive Officer’s team.::

@ACTION:  The large creature starts running toward the Chief Engineering Officer, his head down and stride slow at first as if prowling on her.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#::Moves with the Captain as quickly as possible.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
@::As she runs, gets her phaser out and prepares to fire at the large creature.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Looks over her shoulder and gulps.::  Self:  I'm not going to be your dinner tonight.  ::Picks up the pace.::

Barion says:
@::Raises Phaser and attempts to shoot the creature.::  XO/ CEO: Phaser not working!  ::Throws it at the creature.::

ACTION:  The Executive Officer’s Away Team meets up with the Chief Tactical Officer's team.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::Starts moving again and soon is flying again eating up the ground between the Executive Officer and the creature.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  Holly!  ::Sees the creature, raises Phaser and tries to fire.::  Self: Great!

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
ALL: Run!

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Sees Icky coming towards her and smiles with relief.::  CTO:  Just run, Icky, as fast as your little blue legs will go.

ACTION:  An unidentified man comes out of the bushes yelling at the Away Team.  His language is not understood in the least bit, but clearly he is trying to help them get away.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
ALL:  GO, GO, GO!!!!  ::Follows behind everyone else.

Unidentified Man says: 
AT:  Chnksi obi mae!  ::Waves his hands for the Away Team to follow him.  Yells louder.::  Chnksi obi mae!  Obi mae!

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Stops and turns about.::

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::Launches herself straight at the beast with a huge knife.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
XO:  Commander, look!  ::Points at the man.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan2 says:
::Looks at the man and slows down.::  ALL:  Is he trying to help us?

ACTION:  The beast grabs the Flight Control Officer and flings her toward the away team.  Amazingly she is not hurt, but the beast is really angry now.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
XO:  Let's hope so.

Unidentified Man says: 
AT:  Chnksi obi mae!

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
CO:  Sorry, Sir didn't hear you.  I was so into the hunt.  My apologies, Sir.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Moves close to the Captain, knowing without phasers we're the only two likely to stand much chance against this thing.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Is really angry at seeing the Flight Control Officer charge the beast meaning that she disobeyed his order.::

Host SM_Linda says:
